Well, this might be pretty confusing, as one might expect this flag (--sourcelist) to list the
sources of a package, rather than the source-package paths.

I expected this behavior from `makepkg --packagelist`:

[ruben at i3 brave-bin]$ makepkg --source --packagelist
/home/ruben/tmp/makepkg_test/brave-bin/brave-bin-1:1.19.88-1.src.tar.lz4
[ruben at i3 brave-bin]$ makepkg --packagelist
/home/ruben/tmp/makepkg_test/brave-bin/brave-bin-1:1.19.88-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.lz4

So no new flag, just a different output when --source or --allsource is set, too.

Best regards,

Ruben
